Although that will’s road legal, the Tramontana will be pitched as a track-focussed special. that will will be powered by a choice of two engines in Europe, with the entry-level Tramontana R featuring either a Mercedes-sourced twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V12 with up to 710bhp or an Audi-sourced naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 with 592bhp, depending on specification.

The V12 powerplant also features two power modes, allowing drivers to select between 542bhp as well as 710bhp outputs. A top speed of 186mph will be promised, along which has a 0-62mph sprint time of less than 3.6sec.

The mid-range Tramontana XTR also features the V12 engine as well as will be geared more towards pure track performance. In This kind of form, the Tramontana includes a top speed of more than 202mph as well as can reach 62mph in less than 3.3sec, the company claims. The XTR will be the style Tramontana will be pushing inside the UK.

The top-level XTR-GT gets another power boost, taking the V12 engine’s output to 838bhp.

Power will be sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission, although the company says that will plans to offer an eight-speed sequential option inside the near future. Based around an Italian-made lightweight carbonfibre tub, all three Tramontana designs have a dry weight of 1350kg. Each car will be built to customer specifications, even down to paint specifications as well as Internal layouts.

The company has so far sold seven cars inside the last three years, as well as plans to sell three designs inside the UK during its first year on sale. Tramontana’s factory in Barcelona has the capacity to build twelve cars annually.

Tramontana officials admit the automobile’s styling will divide opinions, yet they say that will’s designed to be driven to the track as well as back again. Its two-seat cabin features a tandem seating format, with the passenger seated directly behind the driver. The leather as well as carbonfibre-trimmed cabin features a digital dashboard display.

Rivals for the Tramontana are few, yet officials admit the £125,000 BAC Mono will be likely to be its closest competition. The Mono will be powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Mountune engine producing 305bhp as well as weighs just 580kg.

All cars – including those destined to come to the UK – are built at the firm’s factory north of Barcelona by a team made up mainly of former Formula 1 engineers. The average order takes between six as well as eight months to complete.

Prices for the Tramontana start at €350,000 plus local taxes, meaning customers inside the UK can expect to pay around £300,000 for the Tramontana R. The XTR versions, meanwhile, cost by around £430,000. Although sales inside the UK are described as a priority for the company, Tramontana already sells cars in Europe, the US as well as the Middle East.

Speaking at the automobile’s launch, Tramontana’s head of UK development, Shami Kalra, said: “that will’s a Marmite car; you’ll either love that will or you don’t. When you see that will, you’ll be blown away. The cars will go to people who are complete petrolheads.

“Many of the supercars which are around the £1 million mark aren’t achievable for most people, whereas our cars at This kind of cost are. There’s nothing that will’s so extreme just for This kind of cost.”

The company’s business consultant as well as test driver will be former F1 driver Dani Clos. Speaking at Salon Privé, he said: “This kind of will be for someone who will be bored of having regular cars. You get into one of those cars as well as they’re fast as well as fun, yet that will’s always the same. We wanted to bring the technology as well as sensation of a Formula 1 car to the road, yet without using the drivability.”

The company also has plans for an even more hardcore Tramontana style inside the future. A brand new racing variant of the XTR will be planned that will will use the existing Mercedes V12 engine for power, yet will have its output tuned to around 986bhp – matching the output of McLaren’s P1 GTR. Tramontana says development of the brand new car will be dependent on how sales of its current range progress inside the coming years.

The company has also confirmed that will will be experimenting with hybrid as well as fully electric powertrains. “that will’s something that will we are working on, we have to. The market demands that will,” said Clos.
